Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Description

This folder is made almost entirely out of Wide Area Telephone Reports compiled by SNCC between the months of June and September 1965. The reports detail the organization's day-to-day operations and the harassment their field workers received as a result of these efforts. Existing in the background of these reports is the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party's Congressional Challenge, the appointment of James P. Coleman to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and SNCC's attempts to organize workers into the Mississippi Freedom Labor Union.
